When the sensor is paired with your device, a message appears. You can customize a data field to display sensor data.
Foot Pod
Your device is compatible with the foot pod. You can use the foot pod to record pace and distance instead of using GPS when you are training indoors or when your GPS signal is weak. The foot pod is on standby and ready to send data (like the heart rate monitor).
After 30 minutes of inactivity, the foot pod powers off to conserve the battery. When the battery is low, a message appears on your device. Approximately five hours of battery life remain.

2If necessary, select 
> Activity Settings > GPS to turn on or turn off GPS.
